and I wonder if you even need or want more posts by members.

Cyberspace is a rather strange realm. Things are seldom exactly as they seem. Some of the AI forum bots are remarkably human like. We've had any number of advertising bots posting here over the last few years. When things are quiet ... they even chat amongst themselves.

To quote another poster : Is it real or is it Memorex ?



You might also ask yourself that same question in some of the other social media sites that you visit.

The AI Lady"s look awesome, it's when they start asking for money for airfare I begin to be suspicious.

If you figure out what you are talking about, let me know.

You've been here for awhile but you haven't been active. You might have missed it. I issued a computer command in one of my posts that will cause an AI to shut down & reset.

The results were interesting.

If you're an old guy who isn't too tech savvy .... you would have overlooked it. It's something that would have been outside your range of experience so it wouldn't have made any sense.

As i was saying before ... cyberspace is a strange place. Don't assume that it's like the mundane realm of your day to day life.

I was reading an interesting article in the New York Times back in February. Most of us here are getting on in years. We all will eventually have our end. The article was talking about the digital footprint that we will leave behind and how AI's may pick up and carry on in our stead for generations after we pass on social media. It's not just the stuff of sci-fi movies anymore. It's the real deal ... the technology is just that far advanced nowadays.

The online version of that NYT article is behind a paywall now but this article will give most of the gist of how it works.

Both sides came to the bargaining table, nothing was accomplished.

It takes two or more to make an entertaining bite fight. Grab some popcorn and come join in the fun !

I don't think there's been more than five forum members who were consistent of earning monthly payday's in the thousand dollar range, I'm only able to name one of those forum members who is still active on the scrap metal forum.

Our catalytic buyer has not been present for the last year or more, our e-waste buyer pops in occasionally to post price updates.

The forum was almost dead, mike1's compressor thread brought some life back, in my mind the information incomplete, what was the total number of units were any aluminum would, in pounds what was the copper content, how much oil was recovered, what was the cost of consumables, abrasives blades, sawzall blades.

Other than knowing mike1's thread captured your interest enough that you had processed a few unit's yourself beyond that knowledge we're none the wiser.

freonjoe as I remember had posted some great information on processing AC units for the copper, did mike1 source that information - no he did not search the forum archives.

Curb shopping for a few dollars a day is of little interest to most people.

With Admins recent attempt to breath new life into the forum, I do not expect that he will pay the domain registration fee, and that will be lights out for the forum. Any effort on the members part will go down in smoke.

You can only squeeze so much juice from a lemon, on the upside you can plant the seed found within and start a new tree in fresh soil.

There’s no issues with keeping the domain active, that’s all handled. I’m trying to wake the forum back up and get more people participating so it can stay a good resource for both current and future scrappers. I’m working on making it more useful and valuable for everyone who wants to learn, share info, and make money in the scrap business.
I had registrations paused for a while when spam was getting bad, but they’re back open now and we’ve got new users signing up. Just trying to move things in the right direction and build it back up.

You should have considered signing up with cloudflare to keep spam out.

By pausing the domain many of your members though the forum had finally gone dark forever and may never return, it;s not like we were all send an email to inform us - issues had been resolved.

Something you won't see from the admin side, when a member logs onto the forum and hits New Post's. i there are none the user is presented with a pop pop up saying you have to wait 20 second's before doing another search.

At my age 20 seconds is an eternity. Is there anyway to change the message on that annoying pop up, to say you might search the archives. That current wait time is ridiculous.

Freonjoes thread is my all time favorite thread on here.

i agree with the curb shopping... BORING
